dinner with fellow guests


I arrived at the 'Secret Beach' the guest house is stunning, I'm in a small cottage the room is HUGE and spotlessly clean. The grounds are beautiful set amongst palm trees and mango trees.

After packing, I got my instructions on how to get to 'The Secret Beach' I found the beach and it was picture postcard perfect - the only people around were a few fishermen doing whatever they do with their nets...but the secret beach remained a secret to me as I couldn't find it!

After a long, long walk along the beach and back - seen the biggest crab scurry back into the water!! I headed back to the guest house to get ready for dinner - dinner is something of a pot luck affair no menu you just get what they serve. It was totally delicious - there was fish curry, home make poppadoms, a salad of cabbage and coconut (dreamy), prawns and so much more - by far the best food I have had since arriving in India. My fellow guests were a German couple who had been at the guest house for 4 days of their 3 weeks in India and were sorry they hadn't come earlier.

On Saturday I found the beach (pictures attached) I actually walked past it 3 times on Friday, its stunning - its around 3000 sq ft of white sand nestled behind some palm trees, there is a little cottage with a shower and toilet and a 'man' who keeps the children away and looks after your belongings whilst your in the water - he also escorts you to the water and ensures no one bothers you...there was no one around to bother me, but he kept watch anyway.

The water is clear and quite calm, but its also really, really warm - you expect the surf to be bracing and refreshing, but its not its as warm as the average bubble bath!

All in all 'The Secret Beach' is idyllic and I will probably stay a few more days, only downside is since the German couple left on Sunday I'm the only guest so I may get a bit bored with my own company...as fun as I am to be around!!

Please keep the messages coming, love to hear whats happening at home!

Love you all xxx
